Picking the right ItemsSource container

I have a UserControl I've written to display a few properties from a custom object. There are multiple instances of开发者_StackOverflow these objects so I have an ObservableCollection of them so I can set them as an ItemsSource binding to a ListView. Now I can get an instance of this UserControl show up for each instance of my class in my ListView.

The problem is I don't really want the behavior of a ListView. I don't want the user to be able to select the entire UserControl. In fact, the user should be able to select individual elements in the UserControl.

I thought about just using a StackPanel to put these UserControls in, but it doesn't have an ItemesSource property. Is there an easy way to make this happen?

Replace your ListView with an ItemsControl and set the ItemTemplate to a suitable DataTemplate for your objects. You can set the ItemsPanel if you want to change how the panel lays out the items.

<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
              ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}">
  <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
      <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
  </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
